Kingston SNV3S/1000G
NV3 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2280 solid-state drive
By The Nate Meyer ยท Published
The Kingston NV3 SNV3S/1000G is a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid-state drive for compatible desktops, laptops, and workstations. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and connects through an M.2 PCIe interface operating with four lanes. The drive delivers sequential read speeds up to 6,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 4,000 MB/s when installed in a suitable PCIe 4.0 system. It is also backward-compatible with PCIe 3.0 systems, although performance is limited by the host interface. The 1TB model is rated for up to 320TB written and includes a five-year limited warranty. Installation requires an available M.2 slot with NVMe PCIe support.

1TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD using a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface.
Rated sequential performance reaches 6,000 MB/s read and 4,000 MB/s write.
Compatible with PCIe 3.0 systems at host-limited speeds.
Which systems support the Kingston SNV3S/1000G?
It is compatible with desktops, laptops, and workstations that provide an M.2 2280 slot with PCIe NVMe support. Check the system or motherboard documentation before installation.
Does this SSD work in a PCIe 3.0 system?
Yes. The drive is backward-compatible with PCIe 3.0, but read and write performance will be limited by the system's PCIe 3.0 interface.
What performance does the 1TB model provide?
The SNV3S/1000G is rated for sequential read speeds up to 6,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 4,000 MB/s on compatible PCIe 4.0 systems.
Is a special driver required?
Modern Windows and Linux systems generally include NVMe support. Apply current system firmware, chipset drivers, and operating-system updates for best compatibility.
Does the SSD include a heatsink?
The standard SNV3S/1000G drive is supplied as an M.2 SSD without an integrated heatsink. Use a motherboard or system heatsink when recommended by the platform manufacturer.
